Sandy: The Saga Continues .. ..

Everybody Thinks I'm Cute?

No way!
Now I'm not bragging here, I mean, I'm a plain looking Siamese cat, there are alot of meezers that have greater features than mine, darker ears, tails, etc. I'm not purrty like the Persians, but I am not ugly (like Squeakers. .. hahaha!) I'm an OK looking cat!
Lately though, Mistress (the paparazzi-vet assistant wannabe) has been taking pics and movies of me and especially since she's been on Facebook, she's been putting my best paw forward, sometimes. Sometimes she even takes okay pics of me and putting them out for the whole universe to see, but people (lots of Catster mistresses/mommies) have said I was cute and even BEAUTIFUL!
No way! I still don't believe it.
At least I'm not getting an ego like that Garfield. I know for a fact that Mistress can't draw worth a lick so I will never becaome a comic strip. Phew!
I will always think I'm okay looking.
I just can't believe humans think I'm cute though! Especially Mistress and her Mom and Aunt Sandy and Gram. At least Jen just thinks I am okay-looking.
*feels head* Nope, not getting a big head!

Keep Out! VERY Private Property!!

Last night, my human's hands went where human hands definitely do NOT belong!
For a long time I've been scooting (or so she thinks) on the carpet after my visits to the litterbox. Not every time, but every so often. She was talking to a friend yesterday and she said that her dog had that situation, where she was. . .expressing her anal glands!
So, the future vet assistant got curious.
Why can't humans just mind their own beeswax? I don't go diggin' around in her. .. private areas, what makes her think she can do that to me? What makes her think she knows it all too?
Well, when she was poking around in there, a stinky smell came out, and then some wet stuff, and I started meowing, and I almost bit her hand!
But she pushed on, she wet a towel and I felt a warm wet sensation in my backend, I also felt something go up my backend! I did NOT like that at all! Then she took it out, but she went under the hole where all the stuff comes out in the litterbox, and started poking around AGAIN!!
I was NOT a happy camper!
After she was satisfied, and I was relieved, she let me go and gave me a whole bunch of treats.
I guess I learned my lesson, I won't scoot on the floor again! She found out how to clean anal sacs, she heard some weird Sandy noises and she almost felt my death-grip bite!

Do I Look Like a Lab Cat to You?

Lately I've been a lab cat. . .not a LAP cat. .. a LAB cat!
I've been used as an experiment for Mistress' Veterinary Assistant courses, especially in the History and Physical Examination study unit!
Today she was reading and studying about how to carry and lift dogs, then how to carry and prepare cats for. . .uh. . .venipuncture (in regular humanspeak. . SHOTS, and in felinese. . AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!)
She didn't try to give me a shot. With what.. . .her knitting needles?? She did try to get my vital signs though. She grabbed me and felt me up. . .that I didn't mind so much, I even started to lightly purr, which screwed up the BPM count (heart beats per minute), but she finally got it when I was getting a bit fed up with human hands all over me, especially places where human hands do NOT belong! She had a hard time getting my pulse though, while she continued feeling me up, mostly my thigh and upper hindleg. She still couldn't find it, but was reassured that only more experienced vets, techs and assistants can find it. She finally was happy with my BPM, then she checked my reflexes. I guess it checked out okay. She still fiddled with my femur, but finally let me go when I started to protest.
Now I can kinda understand what those lab rats and other animals are going through. I feel so. . .used! Jen said she could practice on Lyndi, so. .. LET HER!
Although it's kinda an interesting idea, giving my body (sort of) to science and being used as an educational tool.
But only on MY terms!
